TORONTO @ OTTAWA: Friday, November 2nd 7:30PM:
Kicking off the final weekend of the regular season is a match-up of "Haves" (a playoff spot) and "Have-nots" (not a chance of a playoff spot), which means it will be a tough one to call. The season-long floundering of the Boatmen will mercifully (for Argo fans) be deep-sixed. The good news for the Argos is they actually have a shot at closing the season with win. The Redblacks have a lock on the Eastern division first-round bye in the playoffs, so for Ottawa it will be a case of "let's see what we have on the bench". Ottawa by 10: 28-18

WINNIPEG @ EDMONTON: Saturday, November 3rd 4:00PM:
A Western version of the "haves" vs. the "have-nots". The Bombers land in the Alberta capital to do battle with the Eskimos. Winnipeg will take to the road to take on either the Stamps or the Riders in the Western semi-final next week, so they will be "phoning this one in from the bench". On the other hand, when the season began the Eskimos certainly did not expect to be on the outside looking in come playoff time and they will be desperate to close their season on a winning note. Edmonton by 8: 29-21

MONTREAL @ HAMILTON: Saturday, November 3rd 7:00PM:
Fresh off a 40-10 sinking of the Argos last week, the Als fly into the "House of Coffee" to take on the wounded Tabbies. Montreal will be looking to end their season with a modest winning streak, while the Ti-Cats just want to get through this game unscratched and prepare for the Battle of the Big Cats, next week in the Eastern semi-final. Montreal by 5: 26-21

CALGARY @ B.C.: Saturday, November 3rd 7:00PM:
The Stamps have lost three games in a row and need a win with the first-place bye in the West still up for grabs heading into this one. The Lions have lost only once at home this season but their ticket is already punched for Hamilton next Sunday, so they will be going to the bench, early and often. Calgary by 7: 27-20
